Sirois Book Launch Reading in Baltimore

Come celebrate the release of homme de Narrow House Justin Sirois' new book, Secondary Sound, at the i.e. reading series this Saturday (March 1) where he'll read with a couple Rock Heals faves -- Gina Myers and Ken Rumble.

Here's a link to the i.e. reading series site for more info.

Here's a link to buy the book at Target(!) because we love that you can buy Secondary Sound from Target... but you should probably go to the publisher's site for it (BlazeVox) and follow it's link to Amazon. Then Geoffrey will get a cut(?) and use the dough to put out more great books.

Here's a blurb on Justin's book -- take that search engines!
An absurdist media firm hires a pirate to “create the most alluring ringtone known to man” – while the author takes a secondary role as this digital scallywag plunders and pillages his way through the book’s vexing text messages. Presumably the first manuscript of both poems and fiction to be licensed with creative commons, Secondary Sound questions the legal limits of electronic sampling, asks why zombies and pirates are so in vogue, and pushes the limits of poetry (and hopefully makes it fun again).
